Wouldn't a roadblock just cause more idling ? Doesn't Tofino already have an anti-idling bylaw ?

I always see cars idling at the post office and bank

I'm a non native and like many others of my kind I am in full support for this movement. It may be that the only real opposition to any ottawa government is our aboriginal friends

Are there still people who think this is about idling vehicles???

I'm with 7:47 on this. It isn't just a first nation's issue it is all about the way the country is run for big business.

As for 9:13's comment about idiots still thinking this is about idling vehicles i guess you are right that there are some clueless people posting on this blog. Probably why the local politicians don't bother reading it.

As a conservative I am very disappointed in Harper on almost all levels. The Idle No more movement has proven that nonviolent protest can work and be effective. The First nations community has a real opportunity to be leaders in what is becoming a battle for true democracy. I support this cause 100% and am non-aboriginal and a conservative. I would never vote for Harper again but what are the real options...not dogmatic ones. If Harper has lost "ME" they/he have lost the majority. The problem is we have three more years of poor governance.
